Haines
The Adventure Capital Of Alaska
Haines is a small but active town with beauty and activities for visitors in every season. A thriving population of approximately 2,000, Haines does not get the same volume of cruise ship visitors as other towns, making it an ideal getaway for those looking for something off-the-beaten-path.
Haines is an adventurer's paradise. Whether you are looking for a summer rafting trip down the Tatshenshini, secret fly fishing spots, a roadtrip into Canada and the wild Kluane National Park & Reserve, or world-class heli skiing in Haines' back country, Haines is a great place for adventures of all kinds and in all seasons.
Haines Shopping
Haines is a beautiful town with a small downtown area. Enjoy walking along Main Street from the small boat harbor past the Hammer Museum toward Haines Brewing Company, making sure to meander the adjacent side streets for hidden treasures.
Haines receives fewer cruise travelers than neighboring Skagway so you should have plenty of space to explore.

About Haines
Haines is nestled in the Chilkat Valley, an area originally inhabited by Native Alaskans of the Tlingit culture who traveled along the Northwest Coast and settled in Haines due to its mild climate and abundance of food.
By 1903 the US Government developed a keen interest in Haines and established Fort William H. Seward, which was active during both WWI and WWII until 1940.
Today, Haines is a vibrant and tight knit outdoorsy community offering activities and events for all occasions and seasons.
